A more thoughtful, serious acoustic pop song inspired by a shooting star night. Out here in the country you can see them so clearly but never in my life have I ever seen anything like this – the sky was literally just falling about with shooting stars, begging you to make a wish upon it. When you caught in that kind of a mood where you’re so sure that if you made a wish just what that wish would be… that’s when we realise our priorities I guess!
It was dark, I took a walk and my daddy and my dog led the way
I look up, I’m knocked out I see more than I’ve ever seen.
It was dark, I couldn’t see but the sea she was thundering, deafening me
And in the distant spinning around was a tower of light for ships run aground.
The greatest poet or painter of them all couldn’t create this night, this feeling I hold tight.
it was emotion, it was a knowledge and looking up, looking up….
I got the immensity and I got the intensity of the universe.
The sky was alive they kept falling in and out of my eyes.
And I knew I could wish and it would come true.
And it blew me away cos I knew right away…
I could have wished for peace; an end to all the war.
I could have wished for a moral world supreme to any law
And I could have wished for truth answer everywhere
I could have wished for righteousness and justice to be fair
And I could have wished for me to never feel anxiety
To have the greatest health and the greatest wealth and to know my destiny
And I could have wished for Roark and all that he stands for
I could have wished for Jesus Christ to walk the Earth once more
And I could have wished for anything and they were teasing me with trust
Do you know what I wished for though?
I wished for us.
